Well I can attend but I won't have transport. So it looks like an ugly train journey that will get me to Stapleton Road station at 8.29am. I know registration starts at 8.30am - is this going to be an issue if I am a little late?

Assuming that is fine . . . . .just a couple of quick questions about making my team.

Ok I get 3 skills and one can be a double . . . . can they go on anyone? There's no restrictions to putting them on big guys?

No star players until I've already bought 11 players . . . get that . . . . and any inducements again once I've bought 11 players? With 1100 TV I doubt I'll have too many / any!

Right well I've played about 12 games of TT in the last 20 years (to be fair all in the last 8 months) so I'm looking forward to it. I will mostly be using this for experience so if anyone is a gambling man - I'd be the 3 legged horse in the Grand National!

No probs, with getting 4 games in we will have to be reasonably strict on starting times but generally it's when you finish rather than start that causes problems :D It is less than 10mins walk from Stapleton Road to the hall so is you are getting in at 8.30ish that should be absolutely fine.

Correct, 1 of the skill choices can be on a Big Guy, the restrictions are you have to give the skills to three separate players and Stars may not be given additional skills.

Yep, all inducements will be as the CRP/LRB6 rulebook - wizards, cards, babes, bribes; whatever you like - as long as you have the cash after buying the 11 'standard' players the worlds your lobster

If you have any worries about your roster feel free to pm/e-mail me before the day and i'll give it a look over

Travelling from Tewkesbury . . . . so if anyone is passing junction 9 on the M5 that would be handy!

Personally, I would say that the cards are fun and add a bit of humour but generally they are hard to get your monies worth from. I would recommend that you look at an extra player/re-roll/babe before cards but maybe that's just me.

There's an award for 4th place?

What's that - the 'almost but not quite' award?

It's the Internationally Recognised Glowworm Award - does it need any more explaining? ;)

I've just had a bit of bad news there has been a double booking at the Venue I intended to use.

I have been offered the week before, 29th March.

Basically there are two options...

Either I move to the week before at the same venue, everything else stays the same
or
I may be able to arrange another venue the same weekend but it would proably mean that people would have to find there own lunch (if would be close to the city center so no limit on choice).

Could those who have already confirmed let me know if they could do the weekend before as that is probably the easiest option to just shift things a week forward.

Apologies,
D
